I took plan b, and I think I still might be pregnant??

My boyfriend and i were rubbing against each other with not clothes on. He was dry, or so he claims. There was no pre-ejaculation or ejaculation. We did this about a week before my period was supposed to start(3/6 )Throughout the rest of that week i experienced more discharge . And one day in that week there was brown discharge/spotting. We did the same thing again a day before my period. (3/13)And i was worried this time. I went to the clinic the next day. They gave me plan b and they said i wasn't pregnant. (This was 3/14 the day i was supposed to start my period ). It is now 3/22 and i still haven't gotten my Period. I noticed my areolas got darker and so did my nipples. But i feel my nipples got smaller as well. I still experience discharge like if im gunna get my period but i never do.

I'll assume you're wanting us to tell you why you're getting hormonal symptoms, such as those mentioned in your question.

This could be due to the Plan B, which is a huge dose of artificial hormone for your body to cope with, & can affect your body for several months.

It could be pregnancy, as Plan B contains an artificial form of the same hormone that would be more present if you were pregnant. That's why it's often hard to tell the difference.

Assuming you're not pregnant, then you could find you get lots of pregnancy-like, ovulation-like, or period-like symptoms for a few weeks, & your bleeding could be irregular, heavy, or non-existent. Everyone reacts differently. It may take you a month or two to get a normal cycle back. The symptoms you are getting are very normal with Plan B.

You were not protected against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), so you may want to be tested at a clinic, in case you or your BF were carrying one, even without realising.

Okay, well I've already answered the second part, 'The symptoms you are getting are very normal with Plan B... '. In terms of chances of pregnancy, it's impossible to say. Plan B is said to be around 90% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken within 12 hours. If taken at the latest point of 72 hours/3 days later, then it is said to be around 75% effective. You can roughly workout where you sit in between the two. It's statistically less likely that you will get pregnant from rubbing genitals, than from full intercourse with ejaculation, but it is still possible as it does, after all, only take one sperm to reach an egg.

Plan B works by delaying ovulation. If it is too late to do that, & you happen to be already ovulating, then it may not work. It is also thought that it 'might' work in other ways, but they are not claimed by the Manufacturer, so the statistics are based on it delaying your ovulation.

Most women ovulate around Day 14 of their cycle. Day 1 is the first day of your period. Sperm can survive in the right conditions, inside your body, for up to 6/7 days, waiting for you to ovulate, so you could become pregnant from sex you have up to a week before you ovulate.

It's worth learning natural family planning, because it can help you get to know your body, such as when you ovulate each month. It's a little complicated at first, but once you're taught by a family planning clinic how to track it, it's quite simple. Useful to know your body, even when using alternative contraception.
